This is great news, and I'm encouraged by Bentley's stance on balancing his personal beliefs with his duty as Governor. - dvlsadvocat

Congrats, "Guv." Finally a pol who can have his own personnel and religious views without imposing them on others. This is what I hoped for when I, as an independent, voted for you. - sundevil72

Kudos to the governor for keeping his personal views in proper perspective. This law will create jobs in the state, which is what he campaigned on and what we need. Now if only the huge corporate powers would get out of the way and stop hindering the small businessman- you know, the guy who actually creates the most jobs. Yes, I'm looking at you, Bham Bud. - synic65

Conversation has been brewing on Twitter as well, with numerous comments along the lines of "cheers!" and "#winning." The Press-Register's "What's Brewing" columnist Dan Murphy joined the fray, tweeting, "Cheers indeed! And here's what will change when that happens..." Murphy then linked to a follow-up story in his blog: Brewery Modernization Act changes the rules for Alabama's breweries and brewpubs.What do you think? Are you excited about the Brewery Modernization Act? Do you think Governor Bentley is right to set aside his personal beliefs to sign the bill?
